Continue to bring awareness of the inequities and injustices that surround us to as many people as possible. Once the fog is lifted from the necessary critical mass of people required to bring about change, it will begin to happen.

If you're in the UK, you can buy a Euro Millions ticket. The jackpot is currently 111 million euro or 144 US dollars. The great thing about the UK is lottery winnings are not taxed, this is in contrast to the United States where the winner must pay a hefty tax bill.

The sharing of ideas and the encouraging of others are already happening and are verified activities of members posters.

Multiple opportunities exist in EACH country! A person needs to embrace the notion of staying in their birth country, become obsessed with their worthy big goal until achieved then always choosing next exciting big goal, and dwelling among three or so generations of their family members sharing positive insights plans with each other.

New Jersey has very high taxes, but not the highest in the country. I think Oregon has an 11% state income tax rate on individual net incomes of over $250,000. Hawaii also has an 11% state tax for higher incomes.

There are several other states with high income tax rates, although New Jersey definitely is a very expensive place to live. If I just won over $328 million, I probably wouldn't worry too much about it, however.

Well I live in New Jersey but it wasn't me guys, I figured I'd make the liquor store around the corner from my house a hot spot but I guess not. So it's back to the win for life scratch off like I been doing. In all honesty it's too much circling around the Mega Millions and the Powerball to ever hit an astronomical amount for that matter.

Not much interest here in your video, nor in mine, which provided answers to the question asked in this thread, who is pulling the strings? Funny how so many people of modest means apparently have no problem with the Koch brothers but hate Warren Buffet, partly because he supports higher taxes on the rich.

Not necessarily true. I think many people say this to justify their playing the lottery against such incredible odds. I have never, repeat, NEVER bought a lottery ticket because I think it's FUN...Among reasons are the embarrassment felt by playing, the stink eye received when asking the person behind the counter for a ticket to the eventual and basically certainty of losing. Going to a casino and playing poker or going to a fair and playing the stupid carnival games CAN be fun. Playing the lott... [ More ]

Didn't spend hundreds of dollars for this drawing. How would I feel? The same. In fact, it would show you that anybody can win. Be it with 1 ticket or 500 tickets purchased. The same if they are rich or poor. Goes to show you anyone can win. Not that you will.

Kumo — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 18:58:33 GMT

I agree with you in part, not everyone can be a Warren Buffet, Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.

Middle class, which is still a fairly comfortable lifestyle, is not out of the reach of folks willing to ask for advice and make a few sacrifices to get there. Motivation is always a key ingredient for success in anything.

The $42 ($38 yesterday and $4 from a multi-draw I bought a couple of weeks ago), was the most I've personally spent on a single drawing.

Now that I have splurged well beyond my usual ammount, I think I am just going to stick with my regular 2 self picks and the occasional QP for the time being.

The truth is... Not just anyone has the ability to move up the ladder of success. A lot depends on where you were born, to whom you were born and the resources provided to you. Success in life be it wealth, job, school, marriage depends A LOT on who you know (connections) being at the right place at the right time (Luck) and your intelligence, which is mostly genetic.
